AHAM is the single voice providing the home appliance industry and its customers leadership, advocacy and a forum for action — developing and implementing credible solutions for public policy, standards and business decisions.

Home appliances are among the most energy-efficient products available. Through a combination of innovation and federal energy efficiency standards, home appliance manufacturers have dramatically improved the efficiency gains of their products. Many of today’s models use far less energy than those of a decade ago. AHAM advocates for policies that allow home appliances to perform at a high level while using minimal energy.

AHAM is engaged in numerous ongoing efficiency standards and test procedure rulemakings that continue to drive the efficiency of home appliances. AHAM also supports programs to encourage the early replacement of appliances, as newer models use far less energy than their older counterparts.
